The insane cost of Duchess Meghan’s royal tour wardrobe

It’s almost tradition for every royal woman to become a style sensation. Whether it was the late Princess Diana or the Duchess of Cambridge, it’s almost guaranteed that whatever they’re seen wearing it will sell out in minutes.

And the Duchess of Sussex is no different, as throughout her 16-day tour of Australia and the Pacific, the royal's wardrobe consisted of 41 outfits and 114 pieces of clothing and accessories. And all of it is estimated to have cost a whopping $213,508.

If you’re thinking that Meghan receives all her items for free – as let’s face it, there are plenty of designers who would love to see their creations on the Duchess – the royal rulebook states that members of the family must pay for their outfits.

Just like the women before her, the duchess was responsible for crashing websites after fans tried to get their hands on the exact items of clothing she was seen in.

But it was Meghan’s jewellery collection that proved to be the most valuable, with the royal wearing $123,104 worth of accessories during the lengthy tour.
